- Optimism and cynicism
How do know which one is being used in a response to a question?
Best answer
Marina
Oh, wow... Hard one. I would say that knowing the person well, one would definitely sense the difference. Otherwise, just by intonation and perhaps a slight smirk on one's face ))
- Hey community! How did you choose between IELTS and TOEFL? Which one is better to obtain?
Best answer
Great question. Toefl is mainly for those who need to immigrate to the US, whereas IELTS is accepted in many universities around the world including the US. I would go for the IELTS test because I would have more opportunities to study in any country I like. To add to that, we also have the PTE test which is for Australia and Celpip for Canada. Those countries also accept IELTS. SO, IELTS it is.

- Will the world need teachers in the presence of AI and robots?
How can we secure our position and relevance to the world with the technological advancements being what they are?
Best answer
AI can have accesses to infinite knowledge, but unless singularity occurs, it can never replicate human empathy and social adaptability. Which are both needed for a great teaching experience. It’s why many language learners use apps with AI, but it falls short in human connection and they seek us the online tutors! We secure our position by simply being human and having students in need of that very human interaction!
Best answer
You should study an hour or two before class and revise after class as well. That way you will get a better understanding of what you were thought in class.
- Is TESOL/TEFL cert worth it?
Is it worth a buck and time spent for prepping and actual exam taking? Will it improve my profile or give me important knowledge about teaching? Thanks for answers in advance.
Best answer
Depends on how serious you are about teaching. Some students want to hire the best teachers, and feel that formally trained teachers are more reputable. Some companies only hire teachers with a degree. For the record, I have worked with languages learners for 20 years. I have studied both Spanish and Chinese. Now, I’m in school getting my second masters, which will include certification.
Best answer
Hi, I have not yet taught a lesson on IELTS but am qualified, I avoid it at best , sometimes I go back to my lesson materials and revise, hoping to make it my specialty, but not just yet.
